CORONATION Street hostage actor Oliver Farnworth says the only way for his character Andy Carver to escape evil Pat Phelan’s dungeon is to find him a new prisoner.

The actor appeared on Lorraine today to speak about the shock storyline which revealed that Andy wasn’t dead – as everyone assumed, but has been held captive for eight months.

Speaking to Lorraine today Oliver acknowledged that his only way out is to find Pat someone new to bully.
He explained: “He’s tried to fight Phelan physically, he’s tried to plead with him, nothing’s working.

“This idea that he’s created, bringing someone else on board, he’s seen an opportunity here, that Phelan kind of needs someone to bully, he needs control over someone, so he’s seen this opportunity and thought, ‘That’s my last resort. I’m not getting out of here, it’s been eight months now, locked up in this basement.’”

This comes as Coronation Street is lining up an explosive week of episodes as Pat Phelan takes another hostage.

In a dramatic week of episodes old ghosts come back to haunt the evil builder – who is played by actor Connor McIntyre in the ITV soap – threatening his future in Weatherfield and the life of those residents who attempt to stand in his way.

As Seb finally confides in Faye about his awful home life but when he takes her to see his house they’re shocked to find his mum unconscious having overdosed.

Abi’s rushed to hospital and after receiving a call social services arrive and take the twins into care leaving Seb devastated and he lashes out at Anna, accusing her of calling the authorities.
